I don't care what anyone has to say, this game and it's story was amazing. It gave us something more dangerous than Andross himself and it gives you a realistic feel to war. Sacrifices, intensity, fear, courage, all of it was top notch. Also, I wish they kept these voice actors from this game to be in Star Fox Zero. :')
@@stefanoponce6090 same with General Pepper and StarWolf. My only big criticism of the story is that it should have killed them off. It makes me wonder if this game was intended to be the last StarFox game considering how dark it was.
lots of people talk about Peppy's sacrifice in that assault against the shield to the Aparoid Queen, but it's more serious than just Peppy almost losing his life first, the Great Fox's outer shell was plagued with Aparoids who even started to infect it, and second, 1:19 - 1:26 if you check out Peppy's right arm, HE WAS ALREADY STARTED TO INFECT!!! at least he had more luck than general Pepper whose last battle was as an enemy of Lylat while claiming for death to keep his honor, Peppy at least had that final fight of his against the enemies of Lylat instead of as an enemy of Lylat
Can't believe missed Peppy's infected arm. Guess they activated the selfdestructed program before it got too bad and thus the infected cells selfdructed on a microscopic scale.
@@sonicgen20 Considering how it was showing on his face and with what you suggested..You have to wonder if he had a open wound on his face from those cells blowing up, since he was wearing a bandage on that spot in the stinger.
I'm really gonna miss that Greatfox. Least it went out with one last bang, blasting through a whole floating station then piercing a hole right though that shield long enough for team Starfox to get through.
Twist: Fox realizes what Peppy's doing, and isn't worried about Peppy himself. He's pissed that Peppy's sacrificing the Great Fox; his dad left him a, and I'm quoting the official Starfox64 Player's Guide on this one, "low-interest 80 year Mortgage" on that damn thing!
I’m sure after this either the bank is gone following the Aparoid blitz of Corneria or they’re gonna forgive it cause do you really wanna mess with Lylat’s Golden Boy?
Fox: ROB, Can you get a lock on Peppy's location? ROB64: I'm picking up Peppy's signal from Planet Titania. Slippy: I hope sure Peppy's okay.. Falco: Only 1 way to find out.
Spoilers, but Peppy didn't actually die. He and ROB are shown to have survived in the ending cutscenes. A bittersweet twist, if you ask me. This would have been a hell of a way to kill off the character.
@@elliotsturtplus340 I mean, he was already infected by the aparoids. Better to commit a noble sacrifice than wind up fused with a superweapon like the Great Fox while said superweapon undergoes aparoidification. If someone like Pigma became the menace of a weapon he did when he was assimilated by the core memory he stole, imagine what aparoidification would do to a galactic-level dreadnought-class battleship, especially with the veteran Peppy and the on-board computer ROB/NUS assimilated into it.
yeah, there's no way nintendo could write themselves out of blowing up the great fox. as far as i'm concerned, assault is the end of this timeline. command has multiple endings, and thus is essentially non-canon because there's no true end to it. also, the thumbnail makes fox look like he was just told he can't have mcdonalds xD edit: spelling
The only a salvageable thing to come out of Star Fox Command was the ending where Fox and Krystal get married and have a son. If they ever do continue the story of Star Fox, I hope more than anything that this aspect gets carried over.
@@storm_shadow-2107 well, according to estelle ellis (Krystal's original voive actor), starfox command isn;t canon, so it really doesn't matter in the end if it's the "best ending" or not.
Starfox Zero is a reboot of Starfox 64. Starfox Assault takes place in the same timeline as the original Starfox 64, roughly 9 years after Andross's defeat.
@@sonicgen20 Since Starfox Zero is just a retelling of the Lylat Wars and we haven't gotten any other 'reboot universe' games, that means Adventures and Assault are still properly canon right?
He has to do it he is old your young fox he has nothing to live for you got everything to live for Slippy crying it’s so sad for him but you have to get used to it.
Who else thinks Assault deserves a remake/sequel?
Definitely! Its my favorite game in the series.
They should remake this game from the ground up. Keep the same story beats but improve the gameplay
They should have ended Star Fox with Assault.
Yes.
Me.
Peppy's voice actor passed away today. This is in his honor. ♥
Wait for real?!??
Jmk Josenkai Kahn yes. Rick Mays
Uhh this is chris seavore not Rick may
@@Bigmannnn 64 Peppy used Rick May.
InkyGhoul yes I know. But this is not RICK MAY
For this and more reasons, Assault is the best Star Fox game ever
Not as good as the 64 version but I think it’s the darkest Star Fox in the franchise.
@@loritaylor1602 certainly the best soundtrack. They got a full orchestra to do it
Never got the recognition it deserved
@@loritaylor1602 true but 64 gets way to many praise it’s overrated

Agreed. As to this scene itself, I think Peppy should have died... I think him coming back in the end kinda undermined his "sacrifice".

@@peterhanson3472What about the Ebon Hawk?
To think this is a space shooter with cartoon animals. It coaxes more emotion out of me than Han Solo's death.
HolyknightVader999 RIGHT?!
It still gets man-tears out of me even though I know he lives at the end........such a great scene for a great game!
HolyknightVader999 Agreed! Wish it was longer!
It really goes to show how far games like this can go if they had the right writers.
I literally cried for peppy thinking he was gone for good.
He was voiced by a different guy in this one, but I'm still gonna come here and put RIP Rick May in the comments.
Why am I crying? I know he survives.
Because he was willing to sacrifice his life to save the Lylat System!

@@sonicgen20 either that or the force of the shield growing back crushed it
You could see it on his face as well.
@@TwilightLink77 right

Assault truly was a gem, probably the most underrated game in Nintendo's library
R.I.P

Star Fox assault deserves so much more respect.
I'm really gonna miss that Greatfox. Least it went out with one last bang, blasting through a whole floating station then piercing a hole right though that shield long enough for team Starfox to get through.

wow 😂😂
Lol, Peppy seems like such an a-hole after this. It was for the greater good I guess.
I’m sure after this either the bank is gone following the Aparoid blitz of Corneria or they’re gonna forgive it cause do you really wanna mess with Lylat’s Golden Boy?
Fox"NO...ALL MY STUFF IS ON THAT SHIP"!!!!!
man i remember i was 10 years old and cried for Peppy and ROB
Like this was the dream for a kid who grew up on halo and star Fox, bro went up against the flood
Fox feels that he shouldn't lose Peppy to the Aparoids the way he lost his father to Andross.
And while Fox is making his orders to keep moving, Wolf, Leon and Panther take the chance and enter the planet first.
Im glad at the end it was revealed he was still alive
1:29 This dialogue in GTA San Andreas fits perfect
The music just makes this more emotional.
The irony is his first English Voice Actor ( Rick May ) is also deceased because of the Pandemic.
Is that really what got him?
PEPPY, WE WILL SEE YOU IN HEAVEN, OL' FRIEND ! WE LOVE YOU ! WE WILL MISS YOU ! TAKE CARE ! BYE, OL' FRIEND ! WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU ! 😔😔😔😔
Peppy went out like a kamikaze pilot
Seeing this for the first time as a kid was really hard to watch. Seeing the greatfox in shambles and the thought I lost peppy really hit me hard.
Starfox Assault needs a Sequel! Starfox is due for another release
You were good son, real good. Maybe even the best
RIP Rick May
1940-2020
Peppy Hare was like his father figure after James died. Now Fox is fatherless.
Yes, I'm aware that Peppy somehow survived, but since there are no more Star Fox games, I say he is very much dead at this point.
"Extreme impairment. Main hull will not survive more damage."
"No."
"Damage capacity exceeded."
"I don't care."
No more barrel rolls for Peppy because he died from saving his friends life
I cried like slippy
0:43 Corona bugs, omg they're like cockroaches
2:22 Death of Rick may. 😓
Fox: ROB, Can you get a lock on Peppy's location?
ROB64: I'm picking up Peppy's signal from Planet Titania.
Slippy: I hope sure Peppy's okay..
Falco: Only 1 way to find out.
Peppy you sacrifice save all of us thank you find my brother my friend 😭💔
2:11 Slippy Crying
This game needs to be released on Nintendo Switch. It’s my favorite Star Fox game of all time.
I agree and mine too!
This is really bad with Rick's situation now.
RIP
Old hare never gets that much needed retirement
no more barrel rolls for you.
Peppy NOOOOO!
Starfox writing staff"YESSSSSS"!!!
It actually makes sense because even his voice actor died too.
1:16 Peppy!
Why everyone is forgetting the fact that ROB also got wiped out when the great fox got destroyed 😕
Both Peppy and ROB ejected, using the often-forgotten docking port above the engines of Great Fox.
@@caav56 yes but everyone more sad that peppy die (not really) more so than rob also for the 64 voice actor peppy.
This ain't about him : ')
I started crying that peppy sacrifice himself
The funny thing is we see him in person in future titles like star fox zero
Star Fox Zero is another reboot of the series. With that said, look at this game's final scene and it'll be explained. Sort of.
To be fair, In the Timeline this is the last Star Fox, I think...or is it command? Eh, command kinda blew though
@@an0rangutan I don't know what the deal with Command is. None of the endings are confirmed canon, apparently.
@@robertanderson9447 *shrug* I dunno man, it was trippy.
Because he survived in the game, he appears right before the credits all bandaged up
Spoilers, but
Peppy didn't actually die. He and ROB are shown to have survived in the ending cutscenes. A bittersweet twist, if you ask me. This would have been a hell of a way to kill off the character.
Even still it was bold move of him to do so and I’m honestly kinda surprised he lived he really his a legend

Awww slippy 2:12
Do A BARRELL ROLL!!!
2:00 the music just stops...
Is this cannon to star fox,cuz last time we saw them was in star fox zero..
(is starlink canon?)
Idk about starlink but starfox assault is canon to the original 64 game. While zero is a reboot of 64
Starfox Zero is a reboot of Starfox 64. Starfox Assault takes place in the same timeline as the original Starfox 64, roughly 9 years after Andross's defeat.

@@devonm042690 Of course. Adventures and Assault are both part of the 64 canon. Zero is its own separate canon.
Kamikazes be like
😭😭😭😭😭
He has to do it he is old your young fox he has nothing to live for you got everything to live for
Slippy crying it’s so sad for him but you have to get used to it.
That was a nice 9/11
The voice acting isn't great...
WHO CARES?!
Ganondorf Dragmire I heavily disagree
